Jjaba: Olddetroiter is correct? I’m at a loss for words. I like to think I am fairly good with comebacks to the nasty jabs by some folks on these forums. But I don’t know how to handle ‘nice’. You're not just setting out the bait before you spring the trap on me are you? |

Eastside61, Central HS wouldn't take jjaba either. Cass Tech. was the onliest HS that would take him.

Ofcourse, Roosevelt Elementary School is on Grand River Ave. on the Northwestern HS campus.
It was built about the time jjaba was at Cass Tech.
What's Eastside61 doing over there?
Olddetroit, worry not, jjaba ain't going after you nor anybody else.

OK...makes sense to me. This is a thread for Denbyites, not just about Denby. Makes sense to me, lol. |

Pistons gave us a bit of a scare once again last night. Hopefully they can get this round done quickly.
Yes, a long break can hurt, but so can tweaked ankles and other injuries. Time to get it done. |

Yes. She was the one wearing the mask, and the only one standing from what I could see through the fog in the arena. Unfortunately, we needed her at her home in front of a split screen to knock down the Red Sucks and give the Tigs a needed boost. |

Dumbrowski needs to be the hammer, and pull the plug on some of these guys. Leland needs to manage to win, and not to just be classy. |

His affection for Sheffield has gone way too far. Not only is he allowing him to be an offensive liability he will now become a defensive one as well. Enough is enough. 14 mil to walk a lot is not worth it. He's to up close and personal with the situation, I agree Dumbrowski needs to be the bad cop. |

Denby, how long does it take to go from Denby to The Palace for Pistons games? It take forever from the Westside.
Coleman Young, a local hero, was right. The Pistons wear Detroit, they belong in Detroit.

7K, Z: You have to give the lucky socks credit though. Even tho the Tigs are playing lousy they are still only 3 1/2 out of first. Smelly, lucky socks work in mysterious ways their wonders to perform.
Jjaba: You're right. Pistons should be in Detroit; it's the Lions who should leave. I know an ideal place near Denby where the Pistons could build their new arena. New Pistons address: Fordham and Celestine. |

OD: You would think so with all the vacant land, but Detroit's renaissance depends on the revenue from bio fuel producing corn in this fast growing urban farming community. The concrete is in the way, but the hydrants make for an effective irrigation system.
Regarding the Tigs, we need to play Texas or other National League quality teams. |

7K: Concrete? If you're referring to the Detroit streets I can't imagine finding any piece larger than maybe a couple feet square. We could use them to build walls to keep the goats out of the corn. Sounds like a win-win to me.
On second thought, with the way the water mains are always bursting Detroit might be better suited to growing rice than corn.

OD: You're right about the streets, but I was referring to the foundation walls from the pre-war structures. And by war, I'm not referring to WWII, but to the local devastation that is all too apparently ongoing and spreading.
Too many good tractors and plow blades are getting damaged, and Japanese equipment and steel are getting increasingly expensive.

Thanks Jj! I am Denby graduate of the 1974 drivers educational program, summer session, which prepared me well. I am proud to say I went over to the Sec of State over on 7 Mile near Osborne, and completed the 20 question test the first time in less than an hour with only 6 wrong. I didn't crash nothing, and the tester guy wasn't that afraid. I was so happy I sped all the way back down 7 Mile to tell the folks! |

7K: Assuming the walls are still standing on some of the basements we could scoop about three feet out of them and make great goat pens. I read an article in the Sunday News that said with the increasing Hispanic and Muslim populations goat meat is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. Maybe ES would allow us to buy into his goat business. We could form a franchise like McDonalds selling Billy Burgers. |

Being a Westsider, jjaba has never even seen Denby. Likewise, jjaba took his drivers ed on the Mac Kenzie HS school yard when he was 16.
Summer session, so jjaba graduated from Mac Kenzie AND Cass Tech. Never thought of it that way.
Thanks.
jjaba, Proudly Westside. |

JJ: You really should go see Denby. The architectural beauty will dazzle your eyes. (And it looked even better before all the vandalism). Just follow six mile east until you get there, but be sure to allow plenty of time to pass inspection at the Woodward checkpoint. |

Dexter Bus Boy: Your westside compass is all screwed up again...so lets try this one again... A real westside man like you should have attended Roosevelt - Durfee - and then Central...
They were all on the same campus .... you remember westside stuff... right? your Mackenzie (looks just like Denby and built after DHS was built) was in a westside kinda neighborhood... what about your sussex attendance area... further west right???

A real eastsider would know 6 Mile doesn't go all the way through to Denby from Woodward. A wrong turn, and he might end up in Mt. Olivet. |

The Westside is huge. jjaba is on Northlawn and
Schoolcraft. That's Noble, to Tappan, to Mac Kenzie for the normal DPS student.
jjaba's house on Sussex/W. Seven Mile Rd. was for graduate school down to Wayne. He knows little about those public schools.
Be certain about a trip to Denby; full tank of gas, pack lunch with extra water, air up tires, install a really detailed map, St. Christopher Medal on dash, say a brachah a mile, plan the exact route, day-time only, and ride with a body double.
jjaba, hyperventilating just thinking about it.
